Definitions

  • the present invention relates to telecommunication networks, and more specifically to administrating premium rate calls in such a network.
  • premium rate numbers such as the 0190-numbers, where construed so that a calling party could directly derive the tariff out of the number concerned. Due to governmental legislations, a new type of number regime has to be introduced in Germany. In this new system, the 0190 numbers will be replaced by 0900 Premium service numbers. In the 0900 numbers, the tariff information is not located in the number range any more like for the 0190 numbers. The 0900 numbers will be classified by content. This means that for example information services start with 0900-1, leisure service start with 0900-3, adult services start with 0900-5 and diallers start with 0900-9. Furthermore, each individual premium rate service (PRS) number may be assigned its own tariff. Present Mobile Switching centres are not equipped to process the 0900 numbers. Modifying the MSCs concerned in a mobile telecom network will be very costly and time consuming. Examples of similar art are disclosed in CA2519807 and WO02/054786 .
  • FIG. 1 diagrammatically shows a part of a mobile telecommunication network in which an embodiment of the invention is incorporated.
  • a state of the art Mobile Switching Centre 2 also referred to as MSC 2 is arranged to switch calls from a mobile telephone 4, to a state of the art transit-carrier network 6.
  • the transit-carrier network 6 will pass the calls to other service provider networks 8, 10, 12.
  • the MSC 2 also communicates with a VANG 14 which is arranged to produce announcements for the price of a call. The announcements are sent to the mobile telephone 4 before the actual connection is made.
  • an Intelligent Network 16 is arranged to communicate with the MSC 2 in order to process premium rate service number calls.
  • the MSC 2 is arranged to receive a call message from the MSC 2.
  • the call message comprises both a number of the calling party, i.e. the calling party number, and a number of a called party, i.e. the called party number.
  • the Intelligent Network 16 will only receive a call message from the MSC 2 if the calling party calls a 0900 service number. Therefore, the Intelligent network 16 is also referred to as the 0900 service module. It should be noted that the 0900 service number is just an example and other numbers may be used to invoke the Intelligent network 16.
  • the 0900 service module 16 is arranged to access a central database 18 for retrieving e.g. subscriber data of the subscriber calling with the mobile telephone 4. According to an embodiment, the 0900 service module 16 is also arranged to modify the called party number and send the modified called party number to the MSC 2. the modification of the called party number is explained in more detail below.
  • Figure 2 shows a block diagram of part of the architecture of the network according to an embodiment.
  • the new 0900 service is arranged next to already existing VPN 20 and a Post-Paid IN service 22.
  • the system architecture contains a database for subscriber info 26 and another database for tariff information 28.
  • both databases 26, 28 comprise real-time databases such as LDAP.
  • Both LDAP databases 26, 28 may be provided and administrated by a service provider of the premium rate service. The exact implementation of these databases 26, 28 is not relevant for the invention, and will not be discussed here.
  • the new 0900 service module 16 is also arranged to support the addressing of announcements in the MSC 2 or an external IP 24.
  • the tariff information depends on one or more subscriber parameters and one or more provider parameters provided by the service provider of 0900 numbers.
  • Subscriber parameters are for example:
  • the service provider parameters comprise a so-called 'tariff cluster' which is a classification number used for classifying the possible PRS numbers into several clusters (i.e. sets) each having a unique tariff cluster number.
  • a service provider may provide its 0900 number(s), corresponding routing information and a corresponding tariff cluster.
  • the tariff cluster may for example be an index with 2 digits. This provides the possibility to address 100 different tariff clusters from 00 to 99.
  • the following parameters are taken into account for the processing of a 0900 number and shall be administrated in the 0900 service module 16:
  • Table 1 illustrates a possible solution for the administration of the these parameters.
  • Table 1 service ID tariff cluster Pre/PostPaid ISP price/min price/call 900 00 PostPaid E-Plus 19 0 900 00 PrePaid E-Plus 20 0 900 01 PostPaid E-Plus 19 100 : : : : : : 900 99 PrePaid E-Plus 159 1500 900 00 PostPaid Debitel 19 10 : : : : : : 900 99 Prepaid Talkline 19 0
  • the size of the table 1 is not restricted. Every field in this table may be handled flexible to add, to delete or to modify the content.
  • the configuration of tariff cluster, Pre/Post-Paid, ISP and prices is not restricted to only the service (index) 900. The parameters price per minute and price per call are relevant for the announcements before connecting the call to the service provider as will be explained later on.
  • the 0900 service module 16 may also provide an interface to insert or extract (up- and download) all data of table 1 in a text file (bulk file).
  • a new or an update of a tariff cluster in table 1 can be administrated in a timetable. The timetable may be administrated offline in the 0900 service module 16 itself. Depending of the configured date the 0900 service will then update in table 1 the price per minute and price per call.
  • the 0900 service module 16 may for example check once per day if an update is necessary. It is also possible to load an update immediately into table 1. Any modification may be reported in a log file. An example of such an update table is illustrated by table 2.
  • Table 2 Service tariff cluster Pre/Postpaid ISP Price/min Price/Call Valid from Valid to 0900 00 Postpaid E-Plus 19 0 01.01.2005 31.06.2005 0900 00 Postpaid E-Plus 20 5 01.07.2005 31.12.2005
  • the 0900 service module 16 ensures the update of a price .
  • the 0900 service module 16 may inform an administrator of the service provider concerned.
  • the 0900 service module 16 may inform (e.g. warning) the administrator.
  • the time when the warning is generated may be configurable in the 0900 service.
  • the 0900 service module 16 will then first verify the new data with the configured maximum parameters. The verification could take place in the user GUI environment of a control server.
  • the 0900 service module 16 is arranged to access the database 28 for tariff and routing information.
  • the database 28 for tariff and routing information may contain all kinds of 0900 numbers supported by a particular ISP.
  • the table may contain a label for routing e.g. ClC, the tariff cluster number and the type of bearer service.
  • the routing label may be a configurable parameter and need not be a fixed value.
  • Table 3 illustrates a possible configuration. Table 3 service premium rate service number routing label tariff cluster bearer service 900 49900123456 C1C 00 speech 900 4990078901 C1C 03 fax 900 499003777888 BT3 11 data : : : : :
  • Every PRS number will be described by the service identifier, e.g. 900.
  • the 0900 service need not be restricted to handle only numbers described with the identifier 900.
  • the length of a PRS number may be variable. But the PRS numbers with the same content number (digit) can be conform.
  • the tables below describes examples of the number length depending of the content number. Table 4: Number length with the content number 1, 3 or 5 prefix 900 content number [1, 3, 5] number 3 1 6
  • Table 5 Number length with the content number 9 prefix 900 content number [9] number 3 1 7
  • the parameter bearer service in table 3 contains only the option for the service speech, fax and data, but other bearer type are possible.
  • the 0900 service module may be arranged to verify the bearer configuration in table 2 with the data in an INAP IDP message.
  • the parameter routing label and tariff cluster are forwarded in the called party number to the transit carrier network 6 independent of the type of subscriber (Pre or PostPaid).
  • the 0900 service module 16 is arranged to modify the called party number.
  • the 0900 service module 16 is arranged to access the database 26 for subscriber data.
  • the 0900 service module 16 is arranged to evaluate whether a number can be routed to the destination or if it is marked as a so-called screened number. This information may be located in the database 26. Every profile of a Pre- or PostPaid subscriber in the database 26 provides the possibility to configure screening services of premium rate services. A correlation of more than one service number is possible.
  • Figure 3 shows a principle scheme of a record in the database 26 for a subscriber with the MSISDN 491774481234.
  • the subscriber has configured a screening for the services 1 and 2.
  • the 0900 service module 16 may administrate a mapping table e.g. see table 6 for an example.
  • table 6 Screening index service number Announcement ID 1 9001 42 2 9002 42 3 9003 42 : : : 10 900 152 : : :
  • Table 6 shows a mapping between screening index and premium rate service number. If a subscriber profile describes a screening for a 0900 number, the 0900 service module 16 will inform the subscriber with an announcement regarding this restriction. The related announcement ID shall be administrated also in table 6. Afterwards the 0900 service module 16 will release the call.
  • the 0900 service module 16 is arranged to compare the called party number in an INAP IDP message with the service number in table 6 using a longest match operation.
  • the number of digits for a service number shall for example be 24 digits.
  • the number of entries in table 6 is not restricted.
  • the 0900 service module 16 is arranged to initiate an announcement for the price per minute and price per call before connecting.
  • the announcement itself is produced a the VANG 14.
  • the subscriber Before connecting the call to the service provider concerned, the subscriber shall be informed about the price of the call.
  • the announcement shall may consist of the following information:
  • the 0900 service module will invoke the announcements.
  • the required information of price per minute and price per call are described in table 1.
  • E.g. the tariff cluster 01 for PostPaid subscribers of the ISP E-Plus requires the following announcements (examples):
  • the 0900 service module 16 may be arranged to ensure the right price announcements. E.g. if a price per minute is 159 cent, then the subscriber must hear the announcement "1 Euro and 59 cent". The 0900 service module 16 may generate first the announcement price per minute and afterwards price per call. Before connecting the call a gap of for example 3 seconds after the price announcement(s) may be provided to the subscriber to provide her the possibility to refuse the call. In case the call will be refused, the subscriber shall be not charged. The gap of 3 seconds silence may be also generated by an announcement. The gap (like a UNIX sleep operation) may as well be configurable in the 0900 service module 16. Preferably, the unit to configure the sleep shall be milliseconds (ms). The gap may be handled as an add on to the announcement behind the 'price' announcements.
  • the 0900 service may provide the possibility to configure a voice, text (USSD) announcement or no announcement, e.g. no announcement for non-speech services.
  • the 0900 service module 16 may be arranged to support to address the announcements in the MSC 2 (or VANG 14) or an external IP 14. Possible faulty scenarios which requires an announcements are (example of announcements):
  • the 0900 service module 16 before the announcement of price per minute and after the announcement of price per call the 0900 service module 16 provides the option to play additional announcements.
  • the corresponding IDs shall be administrated in the table mentioned above. In case the announcements do not contain an ID no announcements has to be generated (in this case no INAP play_announcement message is necessary).
  • the announcements IDs may be administrated in a separate table in the 0900 service module 16, see table 7. All parameters of this table may be configurable. If one parameter "price per minute" or "price per call" is zero(0) in table 1, then no announcement will be generated or invoked by the 0900 service module 16. This means no INAP play_announcement message will be generated.
  • Table 7 the announcements (2) and (3) exist out of an fix and a variable part.
  • the variable part announces the amount/price described in table 1.
  • Post-announcement (4) play list 0900 420 0 300 200 1, 3, 4 0900 420 250 0 200 1, 2, 4 0900 0 250 300 0 2, 3 0900 420 250 300 200 1, 2, 3, 4
  • Figure 4 illustrates a sequence of announcements which may be generated by the 0900 service module 16. In case of four announcements there are 16 different scenarios possible.
  • the announcement after the announcements 'price per minute' and 'price per call' contains e.g. the gap of 3 second.
  • Figure 5 shows a flow chart of actions taken by the 0900 service module 16 according to an embodiment of the invention.
  • the 0900 service module 16 cooperates with the already existing IN PrePaid 20 and VPN services 20, see figure 2 .
  • the 0900 service module 16 is invoked by the MSC 2 in case a mobile subscriber (i.e. calling party) calls a 0900 called party number.
  • the 0900 service module 16 accesses the database 26 to find for a specific calling party number, e.g. +491774481234, the type of the subscriber, the ISP and the screening information for that calling party number.
  • step 54 the 0900 service module will play or invoke an announcement, see step 54 and will release the call afterwards, see step 55. This will end the procedure at step 56.
  • step 53 is followed by a step 57 in which a second database 28 is accessed to determine the routing label, tariff cluster and possibly the bearer service for the specific 0900 number (i.e. the called party number).
  • step 58 the 0900 service module 16 will play or invoke an announcement (step 54) and to release the call afterwards (step 55).
  • the 0900 service module 16 will analyze the tariff cluster, routing label and the bearer service, see step 59. Depending on the tariff cluster, the type of subscriber and the ISP the 0900 service module 16 will initiate an announcement with the information of price per minute and price per call of the 0900 number (called party), see step 60.
  • the 0900 number (called party) is modified by way of putting a prefix containing the routing label (e.g. ClC) and the tariff cluster in front of the called party number. Then, the 0900 service ends at step 56.
  • a prefix containing the routing label e.g. ClC
  • the 0900 service module ensures the correct billing of all 0900 numbers for the subscribers. A distinction is made between Post- or Prepaid subscribers. For both types of subscribers a different accounting is required. Due to the specific arrangement of the 0900 service module 16, the introduction of the 0900 service requires no modifications in the existing IN Pre and PostPaid (VPN) services. Except for the tariff data for the PrePaid service.
